DR. BURKE SAYS SLUR WAS MISUNDERSTOOD

GreyÂs Anatomy producers may find themselves in court, courtesy of former Dr. Burke, Isaiah Washington. In a recent interview with the Houston Chronicle, Washington claims ÂThey fired the wrong guyÂ I have to clear my name.Â Washington claims that fellow actor T.R. Knight created the idea that IsaiahÂs homophobic slur was directed towards him. In fact, it was uttered in an argument with Patrick Dempsey, according to Washington. After failing to have his contract renewed after receiving studio-ordered counseling and appearing in a public service announcement, Washington says, ÂMy livelihood, my honor and dignity and my name have been so challenged.Â
